Where Bengals, Falcons sit in NFL power rankings before Madrid game

See where the Bengals and Falcons rank ahead of Sunday's showcase game in Madrid.

As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare for their Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, their current NFL power rankings place them at No. 14, while the Falcons are ranked at No. 18. Cincinnati's strong start this season, which includes a 5-2 record, is their best since 2021 and includes their first Super Bowl appearance since 2016. However, their overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans raises concerns for their prospects.

The Cincinnati Bengals boast a formidable offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow, who recently had his first career game with six touchdown throws. Quarterback Joe Burrow's performance this week is a major factor in the Bengals' ranking. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons, who are coming off a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are led by young quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who showed the potential of a dome team during their recent match. Despite this, their overall performance leaves much to be desired.
